Coffee and maybe something more eventually.......

Started to clear the gardens yesterday late; frost night coming so I'm calling everything done. Got to bring in all the cacti, too. There's an all day exercise hiking them in and down to their storage light area.

Did get some painting done yesterday so I can call one project done for now - might be needing a load for in it just make it interesting.....

Errands to run; PO, library, gas, HD......others.... Office desk work, too.

Full day on the agenda it seems so more coffee and off into it then.


So it goes.....

Good Morning All,

Went out to supper with daughter's family last night. Today the only plan is to get the signal bridge wired up to the logic board and operating.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Cold and rainy at CP River. Already had my coffee.

Nothing much planned for today except taking down the solar lights between rain drops that are on the back deck. Tomorrow we drain the water out and blow the pipes out, fill the water traps with anti freeze, lock the doors and head home. Yyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! BACK TO MODELING. Am I happy? YES.

Good morning from the cold of Wisconsin. 36 this morning at 6 heading to 53 later today but we have wind chill numbers again! It feels like 30 now.

Thanks Karl for opening and the daily Diet Dr Pepper.

Hockey game on campus tonight at 7 so fish dinner out somewhere around 5:30.

The outdoor chores are done for the season so it’s me time till dinner tonight.

enjoy the day

Mornin' All!

45, headed all the way to 47, feels like 38, mostly cloudy with occasional drippage here in the northern mitten. Thanks to Karl for opening up, and a note that the WWs were using the "S word" for da Yoop yesterday. Not sure whether that hit or not.... It's coming, though.... Foliage here is beginning to show signs of early Autumn, so I need to think about getting the camera ready. OTOH, the grey blanket will probably ensure that the glorious calendar photos are not available without a road trip, so....

Op Session is scheduled for Wednesday night here, so I need to re-stage everything, ensure that stuff runs, clean tracks, solder some stuff and.... Gaaa!! I feel like the White Rabbit: There's never enough time! <cue Bunny emoticon>

Make it a great day, All, and stay safe!

Thanks for opening, Karl. Its a great warm fall day, highs in the mid '70s in SE NH. Cooler but still sunny for the weekend, great leaf-peeping weather. Trees are still turning here, peak will probably be next weekend.

Karl, I have a bunch of those fiddly door strikes. When they get bad enough to really bother me, I end up drilling out the screw holes, gluing dowels into the hole, and then redrilling for the strike. If anyone knows a better way to do this, please let me know. I also have one bathroom door that swings open if it's not latched, which can be "revealing" if you're sitting on the throne when that happens. I've tried pulling and striking the hinge pins (to add a slight bend), and probably need to do that again to add more resistance.

I'll try to get to the train room this afternoon after I go to the store. There's an NMRA local meet tomorrow, haven't decided if I'll go or stay home and play with my own trains. It's been a busy last 2 weeks (lots of Dr Appts plus two extra trips for my geology class.)

Off-topic: I continue to closely track Putin's War in Ukraine. Wednesday night I had a 2 hour chat with a couple college classmates, including one who taught at West Point. If anyone is interested in my spin, contact me privately.

Afternoon all,

I edged and cut the grass this morning and that was the final clean up of Hurricane Ian. Sorry I missed breakfast and the smell of coffee.

I'm taking my Babe out to an early dinner and then I'll post some A&S RR photos.

Have a great day ya'll.

Tom

hey Karl did you try shimming underneath the hinge

Afternoon to all.

I was going to continue my bus wire/feeder project on the staging level when I noticed some expansion had occurred at several spots in my flex track.
I haven't been in the train room in about 3 weeks and the expansion had occurred during this time.
So I am now putting some expansion joints in several straight run sections of track. In my effect to achieve smooth ribbon rail like track work, I now have
some required gaps here and there. I also modified my track fastening method to my bench work to allow for some movement of the rails within the plastic ties.
Odd, I soldered almost every track joint for smooth continuous running and now going back to add gaps. Oh well.

Hope everyone is well.

John
